Hi! I'm Khen, a Kemetic Humanist.
What does that mean?I'm still figuring it out!Kemetic Humanism is a form of Kemetic polytheism that focuses on growing ma'at and destroying isfet by engaging in the seen world rather than work within the Duat. It embraces the multitude of Kemetic spiritual experiences as equally true, from those who work with the netjeru as archetypes to those who worship Them as individual divinities.I began the journey leading to Kemetic Humanism after feeling underwhelmed by attempts in the House of Netjer to deal with racism. As a white devotee of an African religion, I believe it is our duty to uproot racist figures, educate the uninformed, and be continuously learning how to better support BIPOC both in our community and our world.Feel free to join me and help decide what that means!

To Sekhmet, after the Club Q shooting
Hail to You, Sekhmet the Great,
Who shoots Her arrows against the Enemies of Ra!
Rise up! Defend us!
Oh You Who love Ma'at,
Who Burns Apep with the Fiery Breath of Your Mouth,
Rise up! Defend us!She of the mighty phallus,
Unique one, Who defies gender,
We come to You, Your transgender and queer children.
There is no defense like Yours in the Heavens or on the Earth.Hold in Your arms the victims of the Club Q shooting,
Hold in Your arms our beloved transgender and queer dead,
Hold in Your arms those who are in fear,
Hold in Your arms those who mourn.Lady of the Uraeus,
She Who is satisfied when She Protects,
Bring an end to the violence against Your children.May our offerings satisfy you:
Tributes of money, of time, of work
To bring an end to this suffering,
Now and forever.Kheperu.
